Has anyone ever repaired cracks in punctures in an FRP top? I've only done very very limited fiberglass work. Any advice or should I just watch a YouTube video?

That looks an easy fix. There is lots of FG DIY videos on ebay about choosing the correct materials , preparation and application. I had similar damage to my FG flares, fixed it myself and it came out good for a first timer.
Getting any moisture out will be the biggest concern
 
Definitely check boat shops around you. The FRP tops seem to be painted with a gel coat which should make repair easy and spotless on the outside.
 
Yeah it is a steal at that price. I don’t see FRP tops come up for sale often.
 
That's a clean top and a good price...wish it was closer

Yeah if that one was closer or along the route of any of my road trips you knew where to find it ;-)

Fiberglass is not my favorite to work with but not that hard , maybe wait a bit untill the gentle giant from Belgium visits me next time he can do wonders with that stuff.
 
Wish you were closer I’d lend a hand! I know how to do fiberglass repairs; at least on surfboards. Not the hardest stuff in the world but definitely a dying art.
